Medieval Cross Stitch Samplers by Angela Wainwright

Samplers are one of the most enjoyable forms of cross stitch embroidery, not least because they are simple to work. They have a long-established history both as a way of recording needlework patterns and as lasting celebrations of family events. Angela Wainwright's collection of stunning new cross stitch pieces combines this tradition with the rich legacy of medieval decorative art. From the vibrant colors and highly graphic designs of stained glass windows, the charming flowers and creatures depicted in tapestries and manuscripts and the elaborate shields and emblems on heraldic coats-of-arms, she has created a variety of samplers and smaller pieces to commemorate special occasions and to decorate the home.
